The weather is set to turn cold this week, according to the Met Office, just in time for the lift of the ban on sunbathing.

Forecasters say an Arctic air mass will dominate the weather system across the UK meaning the temperatures of around 25C we saw over the weekend will now plummet - making for frost mornings in parts of the country and potentially snow in the extreme north.

Temperatures on Saturday peaked at 24.9 degrees in London, and remained widely into the 20s for many parts of the UK – causing many people to flock to parks.

Sunday already saw maximum temperatures drop by around 10 degrees across the country, with a cloud front moving southwards – though some southern parts remained warm.

Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said the hills of Scotland could see snow this week.

The Met Office says that the UK will continue to see more cloud and wind in the coming week, but “nothing significant or unusual”.

Some parts of the UK can expect to see frostier mornings. While few people are expected to take up the chance to sunbathe from this Wednesday as lockdown restrictions ease, temperatures should start to rise as the summer approaches.

“Part of spring’s charm is you can get both types of weather,” a spokesman for the Met Office said.

“May can be quite a topsy-turvy month, getting closer to the start of summer. It’s not unusual for spring to have a hot part and a colder part.”
